Moving an object up and down in C++!!

[mozira]

In class we did a program on moving a round object up and down on a form,we finally figured it out but what i want to know is there are another way of shortening the coding instead of tesing using boolean :(

My crystal ball is in the repair shop, unfortunately, so I don't know whether any solution I might come up with is shorter or longer than yours.

Why dont you post your program or at least a part of it here so that others could get to know how long (or short) you program is at the moment :D

Here you go.

if(upkeypressed)
{
    yPos--;
}
if(downkeypressed)
{
    yPos++;
}

[Rashakil Fol]

Assuming that upkeypressed and downkeypressed are booleans or integers that only have values 0 or 1,

yPos += downkeypressed - upkeypressed;

you can do it that way, but yo loose alot of readability!
